The Offline HP Smart Storage Administrator (HP SSA) provides an ISO image that can be mounted, burned to a CD/DVD, or flashed to a USB memory key or SD card by using the HP USB Key Utility for Windows.This deliverable will allow users to boot into an environment from which they can choose various configuration utilities (HP SSA, HPSSACLI, and HPSSASCRIPTING) prior to the Host OS loading. The HP Smart Storage Administrator (HP SSA) helps you configure, manage, diagnose, and monitor HP ProLiant Smart Array Controllers and now other storage devices as well, such as host bus adapters (HBAs), HP Storage controllers, and future devices such as SCSI Express drives, and SAS switch devices. HP SSA replaces the existing HP Array Configuration Utility, or ACU, with an updated design and will deliver new features and functionality for various Smart Storage initiatives as they come online. HP SSA will allow you to configure and manage your storage as before, but now with additional features, abilities, and supported devices. Existing ACU scripts should only need to make minimal changes such as calling the appropriate binary or executable in order to maintain compatibility. Upgrade Requirement:
Optional - Users should update to this version if their system is affected by one of the documented fixes or if there is a desire to utilize any of the enhanced functionality provided by this version. Support for

Reboot Requirement:
Reboot is not required after installation for updates to take effect and hardware stability to be maintained. Installation:
Download the Offline HP Smart Storage Administrator zip file and then burn/write the ISO image to the desired media (CD/DVD/USB Key/SD card) using the HP USB Key Utility for Windows Insert the media into the server and boot the server. Verify that your system can boot from the desired media. A menu with the three boot options (HP SSA, HPSSACLI, HPSSASCRIPTING) is shown. The user can manually select which utility to start; or if no selection is made, HP SSA is automatically started. This image is a bootable environment that immediately starts HP SSA to allow configuration of storage. This ISO image can also be mounted as a CD image through ILO2 or higher. It is highly recommended that your server have the latest BIOS firmware and latest ILO2 or higher firmware installed.

For a long time, I have had a preference for HP printers. The quality is just built into the hardware and they tend to work longer and more reliably in my experience. However, HP has a history of getting in the way of allowing a simple install of the printer. Back in the day, it was the HP Toolbox that you had to install in order to get the printer installed instead of providing a simple driver. For a while, they did provide just the driver but now they're back to getting in the way. In 2010, HP announced their Smart Install technology and it's been getting in the way recently, so it was time to do a little digging and learn more about HP Smart Install and the options that come along with it.
Hp Smart Install Utility
HP Drivers Update Utility For Windows 7 64 bit updates your Windows 7 64 bit drivers for HP Laptops automatically. It will scan your Windows 7 first then download and install 64 bit HP official drivers to your HP.
From my first impression with the HP Smart Install, it needlessly complicates the installation of a printer connected to a PC by USB. Instead of the PC recognizing a printer, it now recognizes a virtual cd drive. This provides the driver to do the install but it also requires that you go through their installer in order to switch the printer to telling the computer that it is a printer and not a mass storage device. This is to solve the problem that end users are not sure when to connect the USB cable to the printer.
Here's how an install is supposed to go for a wireless install:
You can also watch a video from HP for an HP Smart Install Demo. HP Smart Install is on a number of HP LaserJet printers now, including the HP LaserJet Pro P1100w, P1560, P1600, M1130, M1210 MFPs for USB and wireless networked connections but only on Windows machines.
The problem with the Smart Install feature is that it relies on AutoPlay to really make itself pronounced. AutoPlay is recommended to be disabled due to USB-riding malware or it could be changed based on user preference. The other problem is that the drivers on the printer are not up to date, so you will find yourself downloading drivers regardless of this feature that boasts no CD or download required. This is particularly noticeable with a number of drivers having been just updated to support Windows 8.

As a person comfortable with technology, I would certainly prefer if the Smart Install feature would just get out of the way and let me install the printer like a printer. Unfortunately, it cannot be installed directly when it is only being recognized as a virtual cd-rom. On a recent instance, I had to dive into the device manager in order to uninstall the HP Smart Install device after the install crashed half-way through. If it would just identify itself as a printer, the operating system or the end user would most likely be able to take it from there as it has been done for years. Is this another example of the user experience being dumbed down and actually making things more complicated?
